I felt, that night, on that stage, under that skull, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone. i wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. what exactly made it worth it? what's so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? what's so great about feeling and dreaming?

Your wits can't thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. you've no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!
Dream Distance Sadness
There once was a child, and he strolled about a good deal, and thought of a number of things. he had a sister, who was a child too, and his constant companion. these two used to wonder all day long. they wondered at the beauty of the flowers; they wondered at the height and blueness of the sky; they wondered at the depth of the bright water; they wondered at the goodness and the power of god who made the lovely world.

My whole life at a certain point was studio, hotel, stage, hotel, stage, studio, stage, hotel, studio, stage. i was expressing everything from my past, everything that i had experienced prior to that studio stage time, and it was like you have to go back to the well, in order to give someone something to drink. i felt like a cistern, dried up and like there was nothing more. and it was so beautiful.
Beautiful Past Order
I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. what exactly made it worth it?
